Ballerina #5



I just keep having more and more fun with my large ballerina series. I feel that I have achieved a level of looseness that pleases me. I also love the innuendo and mystery of this subject. This one is 14x18 oil on linen panel. Your comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated! (The second photo is a closeup of her face as that is extremely important to me in this series).

  4. Susan, I truly love your ballerina series. To me, she appears to be appealing to the muse of ballet dancers [if there is such a muse!] :)
